In raw cpu and gpu performance terms it is quite weak compared to other flagships.

You dont notice unless youre gaming or encoding video or doing other heavy workloads. The daily driver experience is very smooth.

The cameras and camera software is in the top 5 consistently though, the screens are also really good, so its a mixed bag hardware wise.

Meh good enough for everything unless you use your phone as a "gaming pc". But the extra open-ness and security is worth it for me.

No, just run a popular Roblox game on a recent Pixel or 3-4 year old Sony. The latter runs better:)

But yeah, it's my choice as well, because f** Sony software updates policy.
